>>147870as a biologist you should have recognized that I wasn't talking about GI bacteria, but rather pathogens that impact humans. Things like
Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Campylobacter, Aeromonas, Candida, E. coli, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba histolytica, Intestinal parasites which all can be passed via human fecal matter.
I wasn't discounting the threat of a virulent pathogen, but simply reminding people that those pathogens that have evolved to be human pathogens tend to be a little more of a threat when people don't use basic sanitary steps to avoid transmission.
